Dido:
here is one thing that many of you failed to realize...Isiah is looking to put together a running team and a very good rebounding squad also. We have versatile players that can be rotated, etc....We are now fast, and long
and that is in response to:
I think the pick of Nate means we are giving up on the 3 guard rotation idea, because with his size, he is a pure point.
We are prolly starting Q at the 3, which is fine, he is 6'6" 230, thats a lot of pounds and an inch on Spree when he played 3 for us. Plus he is an outstanding rebounder. 6 a game from the 2, he can easily sustain or up that at SF. Plust he will get to post a lot, which was his bread and butter with the Clips. Given that he is a good outside shooter, he is really a total package who needs a good coach to guide him and use him right. He is kinda a Billups type swing player that needs to be mentored to harness his skills.
With Frye at center, this is a running team, so I think Sweets is history, since he can't run. We are either gettin a 4 that can run and rebound like Gooden, or startin TT at the 4. I hope we are trading TT and Sweetney for a 4 tha can really run and rebound, and play defesne as well. Somebody like Stormile Swift? Gasol can run, too so that trade would fit the sysem well.
Considering our bench is now Ariza, Lee, JYD, and Nate, who are all running players, I'd say Mo and Rose need need to get moved, especially Mo, because Rose can run a little. After that we need to spend the MLE and the LLE in order to get a sharpshooer who can run and D up at the 2 and a mobile center who can block some shots and run. Somebody like Gadzurich/Hunter and maybe bring back Demarr?
Then finally get a coach who is a fast break coach. Considering we are deep we should press and trap, too. Maybe Pitino can be sucessfull this time around?
Dido are you pretending, or are you that dense?
